Jackson was removed from Tuesday's game with Triple-A Gwinnett due to an injury, 680 The Fan Atlanta reports.

Jackson was originally thought to have been removed since Brian McCann exited Tuesday's game against the Marlins with knee soreness, but it appears Jackson is also managing an injury. It's not clear if the young backstop is expected to require a trip to the injured list.

Murphy went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run Tuesday against the Rays.

Murphy took Jalen Beeks deep in the sixth inning to record his 16th homer of the season. He has been on a power binge of late, with his marking his sixth long ball in his past four games. While his raw power is unquestioned, Murphy's lack of contact has held him back throughout his career. That hasn't changed this season, as he currently owns a 35 percent strikeout rate across 194 plate appearances.

Thaiss isn't in the starting lineup for Game 2 of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Rangers, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Thaiss went 0-for-3 with an RBI and a walk in Game 1, and he'll head to the bench for the nightcap. David Fletcher is set to lead off and man the hot corner with Thaiss out of action.

Caratini is not in Tuesday's lineup against the Giants.

He is just 2-for-18 with zero home runs, four walks and six strikeouts in his last seven games. Jonathan Lucroy starts at catcher and will hit seventh.

Rutschman was promoted to Low-A Delmarva on Tuesday, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.

Rutschman put together an impressive performance at the plate Monday evening, going 5-for-5 with a home run, a triple and four RBI for short-season Aberdeen. He slashed .325/.413/.481 with 15 RBI in 20 games with the IronBirds. Following his promotion, he'll look to make an impact for the Shorebirds in the South Atlantic League playoffs.

McCann is not in Tuesday's lineup against the Twins.

He is hitting .351 with two home runs, 11 runs and 16 RBI in 16 games this month, thanks to a pair of grand slams last week. Welington Castillo will start behind the dish, hitting sixth.

Trevino is not in the lineup for Game 1 of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Angels.

Look for him to start the nightcap. Jeff Mathis is starting behind the dish and batting ninth in the matinee.

Stassi is out of the lineup for the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader with the Rangers, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Stassi was behind the dish for the series opener Monday in the Angels' 8-7 loss, going 0-for-3 with a pair of strikeouts. With the Angels facing a quick turnaround for the front end of the twin bill, Stassi will get a breather while Anthony Bemboom catches for Andrew Heaney. Expect Stassi to enter the lineup in the nightcap and work in a battery with starting pitcher Jaime Barria.

Nola went 2-for-4 with an RBI single, a two-run home run, a walk and two runs overall in a win over the Rays on Monday.

Yet another multi-hit effort for Nola pushed his season line to an impressive .320/.370/.560, the latest chapter in what has been an excellent and long-awaited rookie campaign. Nola has four multi-hit tallies in the last five contests, a stretch that includes homers in each of his last three games. The 29-year-old toiled in the minors for seven-plus seasons before finally earning his first promotion to the big leagues this past June, and the combination of his hot bat and defensive versatility figures to keep him up with the Mariners for the balance of the team's non-contending campaign.

Diaz left Monday's game after getting hit by a bat in the mask while catching, DK Pittsburgh Sports reports.

The Pirates released no details as to the injury following the game. Francisco Cervelli, who is on a rehab assignment with Triple-A Indianapolis, could be recalled in the event Diaz is forced to the IL.
